Why are Computer Peripherals Important?
Computer peripherals are external hardware input or output devices. You use these to enhance the computer’s functionality. Computer peripherals create the experience better through performance, design, sound quality and more. Some are essential for the computer to properly function. An example of these are monitors and keyboards. Others serve a more specialized purpose but allow you to do a lot more with your computer.
Your use of a computer/ laptop for work, gaming, or entertainment will be heavily enhanced by peripherals. How often you use your computer, the type of work or play in which you engage, and your physical needs will determine which devices are best for you.
